Best Espresso Machine for Home: Which Type to Buy and How Much to Spend

For someone who wants to learn espresso, a $500 Breville Bambino Plus with a separate $170–$300 grinder beats a pricier all-in-one. For one-button lattes, a super-automatic like the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo is the safer buy, and for a gift, Nespresso is the low-risk choice. Used Brevilles are plentiful and cheap.
